A bit dodgy, but it works if the tide is out and the wind is in the correct direction (NE to E). On a good day, can fly from the tip all the way back to the beginning of the golf course. You could probably go further, but I've never done it personally. Highly unofficial launch: Please be careful not to conflict with the golf club, as the land belongs to them. On the beach. The top is flat behind Pohutukawa trees and has quite a lot of mechanical turbulence.
